p.s.: along came the western conference semifinals and the suns hit the fan. in an instant, bowen, ginobili and horry had earned reps equal to those of al-qaida's leadership and the entire team was transformed into a terrorist brigade out to destroy western basketball as we know it. (-cary clack)p.s.2: *the happiest part was watching michael finley, who's been an unbelievable pro for a lot of years.*he was the epitome of happiness tonight. that made it worthwhile for all of us,* said gregg popovich.p.s.3: after five unforced turnovers led to an 18-16 cavs' lead at the end of the first quarter /g4/, gregg popovich ripped into his team in general and manu ginobili in particular: *we're throwing the ball all over the gym! get your heads out of your asses! we're playing like s~~~!* ginobili, who had two points, would finish with a game-high 27. p.s.4: the spurs should remind us how basketball used to be played (in the 80's) in the nba. (-jemele hill)p.s.5: the spurs batted away lebron james and the cavs as if they were a minor annoyance. that is what champions do. and when a team does that as continuously as the spurs, they are the consummate role model for the rest of the league. and yes, a dynasty of the era.
